Welcome
I received my B.Sc. in Aerospace Information Technology from the University of Wuerzburg, under the supervision of Sergio Montenegro. Subsequently, I completed my M.Sc. in Computer Science with focus on intelligent systems as a honors student and have been working with Konstantin Kobs and Andreas Hotho. Moreover, I spent a semester abroad at UDG in Guadalajara, Mexico.
I am currently interning at Adobe Research London as a research scientist working on exciting material-research with Valentin Deschaintre! Last summer, I spent some time at Meta Reality Labs in Redmond, Washington, where I joined the Neural / Inverse Rendering team around Carl Marshall and Zhao Dong as a summer intern. I've also interned at MBDA Germany, where I worked on reinforcement-learning based swarm control. My hobbies include travelling, climbing, cooking, diving and making music!
